Hi, this is my first post. My cat is 9 years old and has had very few medical problems (infection once years ago and was bitten by another cat about 6 months ago). During the previous couple of days I've noticed he was slightly lazier, doing his routine later but still fairly active. This morning his breathing was wheezy, although he seemed fine and playful. I decided to check his resting breathing rate which was about 50-60 per minute. I called the emergency vet and she said he doesn't have an infection but his lungs sound like there might be fluid in them so she's prescribed diuretics and will x-ray him tomorrow. He's also lost about a pound in the previous 6 months.
From doing some fairly brief research... this isn't likely to be a non-serious cause, is it?
Thanks for any input/thoughts.
